    On what? It’s all crazy. “We’re going to invade Gaza” is just as insane as “we’re going to put 18 year olds in charge of the Treasury”, “eliminate the department of education” or “win the war on diversity”.

      Yeah people keep saying “this is just a distraction” to, like, very single story. So what are they distracting from? Please tell us, because all of it is fucking awful.

        The distraction is currently no doubt from the takeing over of certain essential government agencies, hollowing them out, getting rid of anyone critical of the new regime.

        Distracting us from their actions to enact Project 2025 plans, mostly. The degradation of human rights (starting with immigrants and trans people, for example). It seems like they’re gonna keep threatening to invade countries and they’re gonna keep playing tariff chicken, but pay attention to what they’re doing within the US.

      Maybe them draining the Calofornia reservoirs used to irrigate crops during the summer to cause widespread crop failures and drive up food prices massively in a few months.

      They’re actively trying to cripple the country to please Putin.
